And the absolute best thing that could happen would for nobody -- no onlookers, no protesters, nobody except one solitary photographer -- to show up. Just let their handful of halfwits wander around a field and hoist a few signs and ensure that enough pictures of their pathetic assembly are taken for everyone else to laugh at. That won't happen, of course, but it's what should.

The KKK has had three incarnations since the end of the Civil War. First time was during reconstruction. That version of the KKK dried up and blew away after federal troops left the south and Jim Crow was put into place. Second time was during the height of mass immigration to the US from southern/eastern Europe. In addition to being racist, KKK 2.0 was nativist, anti-labor, anti-Catholic and anti-Jewish. The second time around it became a powerful national political organization. It fell apart when then leader of the KKK, D.C. Stephenson, was convicted of rape and murder. The third time around was a FBI COINTELPRO op right from the beginning. The guys you see now are just mentally ill, idiots of combination of the two.
